Born in Villeneuve sur Lot, France, Brageot took his first flying lesson at age 11, and by 21 he was named to his national aerobatic team, the youngest pilot ever to represent France on the international stage and continues to earn medals and podiums at top national and international competitions. Mika broadened his passion for 4 dimensional freedom by joining the Challenger Class of the Red Bull Air Race when it returned in 2014 with great success.

Pulling on his experience from two years in the challenger Class, taking the crown in 2015 and pioneering the Master Mentoring program the following year, Mika entered the Masterclass in 2017 with a wealth of experience and confidence. Through the 8 races across the season he advanced to the Round of 8 four times, missing out narrowly on a Final 4 by just 0.002s. Collecting 24 points, and coming away with a 10th place, blows away the record for a pilot in their debut season. In 2018, only his second season in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, Mika jumped from 10th to fourth in the overall standings, for the best finish ever from a graduate of the sport’s Challenger Class. Along the way, Brageot claimed his first race podium with second place at Budapest. With an exciting new #teameyetime livery, aerodynamic and weight saving modifications on the MXS-R race plane, Mika is full steam ahead for the 2019 Red Bull Air Race World Championships with high hopes of a stellar third year in the sport.

WHAT IS THE MASTER CLASS

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is the fastest motorsport series in the world. It features 14 of the worlds most experienced and talented pilots in a competition that combines speed, precision and skill.

Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 25m high.

The world championship is staged over eight races, in seven Countries on three Continents with the challenging tracks inflated over both water and land.

The Red Bull Air Race consists of the following flying sessions: Free Practice, Qualifying, Round of 14, Round of 8, Final 4. In all sessions, only one pilot races in the track at a time. At each venue, the top 13 places earn World Championship points. The pilot with the most points at the end of the Championship becomes Red Bull Air Race World Champion.
